    Ok, es hat gerade ein paar Hitzerekorde mit 40++ grad gegeben. Aber weiße Menschen (von denen es in Deutschland und Europa einige gibt) wurden von der Evolution für Temperaturen bis 25 Grad optimiert. Und auch schwarze und asiatische Menschen gedeihen bei maximal 25 grad sehr gut. Ebenso heimische Tiere und Pflanzen. Und Stadtbildbäume.

  5. @ZLabe "Given the body's vital requirement to maintain a core temperature of approximately 37 °C (99 °F), a sustained wet-bulb temperature exceeding 35 °C (95 °F)—equivalent to a heat index of 71 °C (160 °F)— is likely to be fatal even to fit and healthy people, semi-nude in the shade and next to a fan; at this temperature human bodies switch from shedding heat to the environment, to gaining heat from it."

  10. ... adaptation? There is no way to adapt to #heat above the human physiological limit of 35 °C #WetBulbTemperature. For children and elderly the limit is at 28°C

  11. the high temperatures in europe are really annoying and inconvenient. but this is horrible

    Daytimes highs have repeatedly crossed 45C across the country in the past two weeks, with Banda in Uttar Pradesh recording a maximum of 48.2C last Tuesday

    and ever since i heard about this phenomenon of wet bulb temperature (#^https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature) i'm positively scared.

    because this means that there is a temperature where sweating doesn't cool you anymore. hiding in the shade and getting in front of a fan won't help then. and this temperature is not as high as i had imagined. the relation of heat and humidity in the air defines the lowest possible temperature your body can achieve by evaporating water, i.e. sweating. and if this lowest value exceeds 35°C (you fahrenheiters go look it up yourself) you are in serious health trouble. the young and the old, of course, but everybody else, too. heat gets lethal above this temperature.

    it is a dynamic relation, you can check it here: #^https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/wet-bulb

    play around with it a little bit:
    * 40°C + 80% relative humidity -> 36.73°C
    * 45°C + 60% relative humidity -> 37,5°C

    i posted about this before, but this needs much more coverage.

    Doctors say hospitals are filling up with patients suffering from heat exhaustion and other heat-related conditions, with people unable to find any respite at night. Stuti Mishra reports from Delhi
